I don't think that's true.
We're part of a much longer story, and the next chapters aren't yet written. There are boundary conditions, but how things are actually going to unfold is still undecided.
the "truth" is not something you discover by physically removing a cover every minute. social-historical "truth" doesn't change because time passes. we can only agree to disagree on what we mean by truth.
